    It would be largely what we have right now. The only thing holding the US administrative state together right now is that lawsuits challenging federal agencies rules and regulatikn re: Chevron Deference being overturned haven't advanced through the system yet or cases haven't been brought to cripple the agencies (yet).

    In terms of things I imagine would get worse quickly:

    • After they purge as many federal employees as possible who aren't explicitly Republican-aligned they basically break the remaining welfare programs and sell any remaing state-controlled assets to themselves (probably a lot of water rights nationwide and any held or protected federal land)
    • Minorities see increased harassment/identification from increased coordination between the remaining enforcement/investigative federal agencies and local police departments that result in deportations/indefinite detention facilities
    • NLRB is gutted immediately instead of through Chevron-route challenges and and expansion of legislation making unions actually completely toothless

      expansion of legislation making unions actually completely toothless

      They could make unions illegal and make it a felony to be in anything they consider to be an underground union.
